Travel Trends
Report 2019
This handy report has been created to provide travellers with expert advice
and insight on what’s hot in the world of travel, from must-see destinations and
impressive new hotels, to the most popular (and exciting) multi centre trips and tours.
Despite the recent political uncertainty, holidays are still at the forefront of many
people’s minds. As well as listing our bestselling destinations for 2019 so far, our
report includes tips on travelling responsibly, how to book holidays without fear of
Brexit, and how best to capture your holiday through photography and videography.
Looking ahead, one thing remains very clear: travel specialists like us are more in
demand. As consumer confidence is on the decline, holidaymakers are looking to
book with professionals they can trust.
The time saving benefits and ease of booking a holiday, plus access to expertise
and contacts, resulting in increased confidence in the holiday itself, all contribute to
reasons why demand for bespoke holiday operators remains strong. Therefore, we
trust our report provides the information and inspiration you need to take the first
step on your unforgettable journey.

TRENDS REPORT 2019
Brexit
One of the big talking points for 2019 is Brexit.
The terms on Britain leaving the EU still remain
unclear, which make it difficult to predict
social-economic outcomes that may affect
holidaymakers in 2019.
The best advice for anyone looking to travel next year is to book
a packaged holiday with an ABTA member and ATOL protected
tour operator, like Hayes & Jarvis and our sister companies,
Sovereign Luxury Travel, Austravel and Citalia. Booking a
packaged deal that includes accommodation and flights provides
holidaymakers with added security, ensuring all elements of the
holiday are covered and protected. All holidays purchased within
the Travelopia brand are protected, and we encourage travellers
to continue to travel and plan future holidays as normal. We also
encourage travellers who may be concerned about the prospect
of Brexit to take the opportunity to travel outside the Eurozone.
How to get the best Destinations with favourable exchange rates*

One way for travellers to get the best exchange rate is to sign up to a prepaid travel card. 1beer = approx. 80

provide great value for money when a currency is bought at a favourable rate. Should the rates
fall after purchasing currency, the prepaid travel card honours the rate at which it was originally
bought, offering consumers reassurance that they won’t lose money should the rates fall.
There are many different prepaid travel cards on the market, so it’s recommended you South Africa Chile Bali, Indonesia New Zealand
